The show is the creation of Oxford University mathematics professor Marcus du Sautoy, who is something of a national celebrity when it comes to, well, math celebrities. My colleague Elisabeth Pain wrote about a talk du Sautoy gave at the Euroscience Open Forum in July, where he discussed his career path and devotion to communicating science. Here is du Sautoy’s summary of the four episodes in the series.
